XIIth Fighter Command

Hi!

Did this Command exist in August 1944 (*)?
And if yes, who was in charge?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Re: XIIth Fighter Command

Good evening Chris !

Do you mean with "XIIth" Fighter Command the XIIth TAC, which supported the Seventh U. S. Army and the First French Army on their approach at the Southern front area ?.

Regards !

Horst Weber

Re: XIIth Fighter Command

I mean "XIIth Fighter Command" of the 12th Air Force like "VIIIth Fighter Command" of the 8th.

Thanks for the tip, Mike, but I don't have the book and it has been years it's out of print.

See you,

Re: XIIth Fighter Command

Chris - The Twelfth Air Force Story is a Good Reference.
If you want to get the Book , go to www.abebooks.com
Bookstores in Holland and England have one.
Cheers,
Mike
